Whether you call it a manual transmission or a stick shift, we all know that driving a non-automatic car is slowly becoming a thing of the past – even in India. Automatic cars are now being offered by every car manufacturer in the country and they are just as powerful (sometimes even more) as their manual counterparts. The use of an automatic car eliminates the hassle of switching gears every time you stop at a red light or when you encounter a pedestrian who thinks they can run through traffic on a busy road. But how do you choose the best from the rest? Here is a list of the 15 best automatic cars available in India right now and everything you need to know about them.

Mahindra Thar

When you’re halfway up a steep rocky hillside, you don’t have the time to check if you’re on 3^rd gear or 2^nd, right? With the Mahindra Thar, you don’t have to worry about that. While the off-roader is available with a manual gearbox, there is also an automatic option available. Under the hood of this beast of a car sits either a 2.0L Turbocharged petrol engine that generates 150Ps of power and 300Nm of torque on manual, and 150Ps of power and 320Nm of torque on automatic, or a 2.2L diesel engine that produces 130Ps of power and 300Nm of torque. In the transmission department, the Thar comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard but it can be had with a 6-speed automatic transmission as well. Some of the features found on the new Thar include LED DRLs, halogen headlamps, air-conditioning, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, an instrument cluster with a digital MID, cruise control, and steering-mounted controls.
